The McDonald Luxury Homes Story A desire to blaze a new and better path for himself, his family and the homebuilding industry led Don McDonald to uproot his young family from rural Manitoba and move to Calgary in 2001. Frustrated with high-volume, low-standard homebuilding practices he’d witnessed working for others, Don wanted to do his part to stop construction horror stories; so he embraced the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of Calgary, modelled his father’s work ethic and started McDonald Luxury Homes, a company that has grown to be Calgary’s one true luxury home builder. The company’s success is rooted not only in Don’s work ethic and smarts, but also in his ability to understand the dreams of his clients and build legacy homes that last more than a lifetime.
